Another satisfied F-One user here.  I figure use a product that was designed for (and field trialed) the specific purpose.

I use Q-tips to apply it, wipe any excess off, etc. every time I change strings.  I also do the bridge.  That's about every 4-6 weeks these days. But, I live at altitude so it's very dry here most of the year.

I'll probably oil the fret board a couple of times a year, although I do change my strings more often than that. Seems to be okay for the guitar fretboards so far.

I use bore oil for woodwind instruments. I figure if it helps wood handle the moist spitty mess going through the bore of the woodwind, then it should be fine on a guitar. I have no idea what is in it. Of course I use it when I remember to do it, which is not often.

I have been told to not worry about oil. Sometimes less is more.

I work for Verizon Call Center (from home) people call me to ask non Verizon ‘how to’ questions all day. I go straight to YouTube and text the exact YouTube link right to their phone. How do I connect a Bluetooth speaker to my phone. Verizon doesn’t know that but YouTube does! Better than a library!

I use Planet Waves Hydrate Fingerboard conditioner. I apply some other a rag when I change the guitar strings. I don’t use any oil.  I did initially but was told by someone that this product was what should be used
